[quote=Anonymous]If they were exposed just yesterday, you may not be able to detect right away. Buy a lice comb, and every 3-4 days for the next 30 days, take a couple of swipes with the comb in wet hair, clean it on a tissue and check for nits. Behind the ears and at the nape of the neck are the best places to check (unless they have short haircuts where its very short there, then comb higher up on the head where the hair is longer). They are really tiny little oval shapes that will show up as brown/gray on a tissue. I would only treat if I actually found lice. Its contagious and should be treated if found, but there is a good chance that if there was no head-to-head contact or hat/comb sharing that they didn't get it. [/quote]
